Proverbs 9:13-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Folly’s Invitation and Promise
13 The foolish woman is loud;
she is ignorant and knows nothing.(A)
14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the high places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
16 “You who are simple, turn in here!”
And to those without sense she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”(B)

Folly’s Invitation and Promise
13 A foolish woman is noisy;
she is wanton[a] and knows no shame.[b]
14 She sits at the door of her house,
she takes a seat on the high places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who is without sense she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
